<p>Here are a couple of my pics from the Maui workshop - one's from the Seven Sacred Pools and the other was taken at Black Sand Beach. Colorwise, they need more 'pop' but I'll get to that this weekend. Enjoy!</p><p>

Alan, I love the second image with the snorkling outfit. You chose the right models for this shot. I tried the similar outfit with a fashion model in Virgin Islands, it came out not exactly what I hoped for. I will try again in the future with a model who can get into the character.

<p>Sally, thanks for the feedback! =) Candice is very good at posing, very dynamic with lots of personality - I really enjoyed meeting and working with her. I have more pics of her I'll be editing this weekend.</p><p>
John, thanks! You're right, it does make a difference which model you choose for something like this (or any other 'themed' shoot). I used the same props with Joanne and Laura and got nice pics with them, too. </p>

Sherwin, Yep that was the idea (Bond girl). Joanne and I spoke about it for a couple of months before the workshop. She and Tom did something similar, more of the 'Halle Berry' style Bond-girl. My idea was more 'Connery-era' with the older style mask and fins (Claudia Auger (sp?) from Thunderball...Ursula Andress from Dr. No...). The speargun, buy the way, is at least 30 years old - it was made by Nemrod in Spain (I sanded it down and repainted it flat black). The ones with Laura and Joanne were done in black swimsuits, which was the original idea. I'll post a couple sometime this weekend.

Bevin, hauling all that gear out to Maui was a bit of a pain but turned out o.k. - I really did bring too much stuff, but live and learn. Thanks as always for the positive feedback, folks!

Allen that would be great, any images greatly appreciated!
Sherwin , you lazy butt! LOL. you should of been in Maui, to really appreciate all that has been posted! You would of loved the black beach! Of course we were on the side of the island where you had to get the sunRISE, so I don't think you and Ralph would of been too happy, LOL
